There is a chance that the system mightwork better, but most likely they will screw up the country. Imagine an honestIndian PM who discloses a key defense secret or the awareness of a key enemynuclear plant — screwing up the country forever[1]. We try to overemphasizehonesty and underemphasize effectiveness.People keep writing about how honestpoliticians lost out in Karnataka elections. They talk about the honesty, butthey didn’t talk how well these losers have performed in leadership. What havethey done? Have they done any substantial benefit to the society — that shouldbe the metric, not just honesty. Talk about those — because honesty alone isnot going to bring water to your house, make the poor rich or women safe. Let’ssay we have the world’s most honest cricketer. Will just honest alone help himget the victories? If you believe in that you should make me the captain ofTeam India — I have never been involved in any match fixing, ever.You say youare an honest coder. Will that alone help you build the next Google? Willhonesty alone get you on top of Mt Everest or make you the world’s bestdoctor?If honesty alone is not a key differentiator in sports, business orscience, arts, why do you think we should look for honest politicians[forgetting all other abilities]?

确实存在一种可能性，这种可能性使得国家能够变得更好。但是，有另外一种可能性发生,那种的概率更大，那就是国家会被搞砸。想象一下，有一位印度总理，他非常的诚实，他公布了印度的国防秘密，或者他暴露了他想要毁坏敌国核电厂的企图。本篇的题目刻意的去强调诚实，而没有去强调效率。在我们的选举当中，人们一直都在谈论卡纳塔克邦一位诚实的政客是如何落选的。但是，他们并没有把注意力放在这位政客的能力上面。这些人确实没有当选，但是他们本身又做了什么呢？难道这些人为社会做了什么实质性的贡献了吗？我想，贡献大小应该是一个非常客观的宏量标准。仅仅诚实是不够的。诚实本身并不能给你的房子带来自来水。没有办法让穷人变得富裕，也没有办法让妇女变得更加安全。假设印度有全世界最诚实的板球运动员。请问，仅仅靠着诚实，能够帮这位运动员获得胜利吗？如果你认为诚实是最重要的条件的话，那么我应该成为印度队的队长。因为我从来没有参与操纵过任何一场比赛。或者说，一个人是一个诚实的程序员。那么，他能够帮助你构建一个谷歌那样的互联网巨头吗？诚实能够让你登上珠穆朗玛峰，还是让你能够成为世界上最好的医生？事实上，在体育，商业或者科学，艺术领域，诚实本身并不是一个关键的要素。既然如此，你又有什么理由认为印度应该寻找诚实的政治家呢？难道我们可以忽略其他方面的能力吗？

If you are imagining that un-corruptpoliticians will magically transform the country to a super power, you arewrong.We had honest, God-fearing politicians at the helm of leadership justafter we achieved independence. However, due to their naivety, they adoptedpolicies that were detrimental to growth. Nehru imagined government as theentrepreneur rather private entrepreneurship, which instilled license raj andstifled economic growth.Nehru declined US offer to give India a permanent seaton UNSC in 1953, which would have given us veto power
Morarji Desai, often lauded as a leader,shut down RAW, India's foreign intelligence agency. He even removed JRD Tatafrom Air India due to some petty feud with Indira Gandhi.Moral of the story isthat educated, honest well meaning politicians can commit blunders almost asbad as the corrupt ones. Corruption is a character flaw but lack of vision andwisdom from a leader is unforgivable.

如果你认为廉洁的政客会神奇地把一个国家变成超级大国，那么很显然，你的想法是错的。在印度刚刚获得独立的时候。印度就是由诚实且敬畏上帝的政治家在领导的。然而，由于他们的天真，他们最终却采取了一些不利于经济增长的政策。



尼赫鲁把政府当成是一个大型的企业。他在印度采取了企业兴办许可证的制度，这抑制了印度经济的发展。1953年，尼赫鲁拒绝了美国提出的给予印度联合国安理会常任理事国席位的建议。



莫拉吉•德赛，他经常被誉为印度的领袖。他关闭了印度的驻外情报机构。他本人与英迪拉•甘地有一些小的摩擦，他甚至将塔塔集团的创始人塔塔从印度航空公司除名。这个故事本身代表了很多的含义。一个受过良好教育，诚实善良的政客也会犯错。他们所造成的恶果几乎和那些腐败的政客一样严重。虽然腐败是一种性格上的缺陷。但是，如果一个政治人物缺乏远见和智慧，这本身更加不可原谅。

I dont know exactly about your beliefs,butmy opinion is that nehru was one of the worst or you can say wrost PM.He was sopower hungry that he even accepted the partition(lets not argue whether itresult was good or bad).Jinnah was favourite among muslims and even manyhindus.Many wanted him as PM,thats the reason Nehru opted for Partition.Afterall jinnah would have died after 2-5 years.Nehru wanted to be 1st pm.During histenure he took 40 lakhs and bought C-grade jeeps and wasted money on hisfriends.my point is corruption is not just accepting bribes

我不太清楚你想表达的意思。但是我认为尼赫鲁是最糟糕的。你可以说尼赫鲁是总理。他太渴望权利了。以至于他接受了印巴分治的想法。这个方案的好坏就无需进行讨论了。真纳深受穆斯林甚至是许多印度教教徒的喜爱。很多人希望他担任总理，这就是为何尼赫鲁会选择印巴分治的原因。毕竟，再过几年，真纳就会死去。尼赫鲁想成为总理，在他的任期内，他花4万卢比买了c级吉普车。他还把钱财浪费在他的朋友身上。我认为腐败并非仅仅是指接受贿赂。
